Rebuild your decks as Hand of Fate 2 has been announced, will support Linux

I found the first Hand of Fate to be a truly awesome game, so Hand of Fate 2 being announced with Linux support is rather exciting.

Mixing a card game with RPG mechanics, third person action combat and more Hand of Fate 2 should be great. It will expand upon the original in every way, and I can't wait to see more of it.

You won't be travelling alone now, as you will be able to earn companions who will have their own storyline, help in battles and provide options in the board/card game sections.

They will expand the types of battles you will encounter too, with new missions such as defending a goblin from wave upon wave of soldiers for 60 seconds. That could be pretty damn challenging, and it sounds like fun!



Equipment types have been updated too, with the additions of two-handed and dual-wielding weapons. Looks like it will suit many more play-styles, and just have more options in general.

From the PR email:
